Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United are on a four-match winless streak of form (D3 L1) across all competitions and badly need a boost. They went down 3-1 at West Ham last weekend in a shock results. On Tuesday they played out a 0- 0 home draw against Valencia in the Champions League. Overall this season in the Premier League Manchester United have lost three of their seven games (W3 D1) and they are in a bit of a mess. United are W1 D1 L1 at home in the top flight this season, picking up just the one point in their last two home games, but they are favourites here and Manchester United to win to nil is at 5/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 3rd, 2018 at 4:26 pm).

Romelu Lukaku is on a dry spell at the moment and hasn’t netted in the Premier League since the start of September. So that’s a three-game run in the top flight without a goal for him. Still, he is the 3/1 first goalscorer favourite* (betting odds taken on October 3rd, 2018 at 4:26 pm) for the weekend action. Manchester United were nine points better off at this stage last season than they are at the moment. It’s been that much of a decline for them. They are still looking for their first clean sheet of the season at Old Trafford on the domestic front, but still in facing Newcastle, we can’t help but look at the value of a Manchester United 1-0 correct score at 11/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 3rd, 2018 at 4:26 pm).

Newcastle News and Form

It has been just two points this season that Newcastle have picked up in the Premier League. They look badly out of sorts and in heaps of trouble. They suffered a home defeat against Leicester last weekend and they have now failed to find the back of the net in their last two games. Newcastle have scored in four of their seven league matches this season. Their total output has been four goals. Four of the five league defeats which they have suffered this season have been by a 2-1 scoreline. Manchester United to win by a 1 goal margin is at 9/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 3rd, 2018 at 4:26 pm).

Newcastle are D2 L1 this season out on the road in the Premier League and they have returned just the one away goal. The two draws were both 0-0 and you feel that that would be some kind of decent result for them really at Old Trafford. Now to some tough stats. Only three teams have conceded more shots against them on average this season than Newcastle have done. In attack, they have averaged fewer shots per game than anyone else in the division. Both teams NOT to score comes in at 3/4 odds* (betting odds taken on October 3rd, 2018 at 4:26 pm).
